Caro, Claire has similar foods to Michael. Cube of pear/apple/whatever other fruit i have in the freezer, mixed with some of her cereal. Usually just one cube as it all ends up on her chin, not really in her mouth. I have tried two cubes but she got so cranky half way through and refused it so I ended up binning the rest. If no cubes left, I mush up some banana, but not often as it gives her scary poo. In the afternoon she has potato/sweet potato/pumpkin/carrot cube. Sometimes a brocolli cube if I have any. She only has two meals a day. I mush the foods into a very fine mush - almost a puree. She isnt so keen on puree and I seem to have a little more success with a chunkier mush. I dont give her bread yet. HAdnt even thought of it to be honest. I'd think if i did, she'd just swish it around her mouth till it was sloppy then squash it in the roof of her mouth, and not actully eat it. Or break off too big a chunk. She doesnt really understand about chewing and swallowing yet - still does that thing where she pushes it out of her mouth with her tongue. I've tried giving her some custard but she wasnt impressed with it.
I'm thinking of getting some corn and creaming it up. Not sure if its appropriate though.

When can I give her meat?? Anyone know??
I dont like my local ECHN so I dont want to go ask her.
She tells me off for demand feeding so I dont like talking to her anymore.

Intertesing about feeding her for the ear popping thing. I didnt know that, thanks for that tip! hopefully I'll remember, lol.

Claire is acting strangley today. She has slept a whole lot more than usual and sounds husky, iykwim. Not sure what to do?? IS this normal? She is sleeping now and I've been going in to check on her every now and then.
